Democratic Socialists endorse 6 candidates in bid to run NYC Council
For those who said NYC couldn't get any worse...
[NYPOST] Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore...
’s squad could be expanding into the City Council.The Democratic Socialists of America on Saturday endorsed six candidates for Council seats in a bid to "take over" the city.

The biggest name of the six is former public defender and Queens District Attorney candidate Tiffany Caban, who nearly upset then-Borough President Melinda Katz in the Democratic primary.

Caban and others endorsed by the NYC-DSA had to answer a detailed questionnaire covering the group’s platform, which was shared with The Post.

The platform includes efforts to defund the police, curb or eliminate "broken windows" and community policing, decriminalizing sex work and reduce the number of jails, prisons and inmates, an effort they’re labeling "decarceration."

The group also seeks to raise city income taxes on the wealthy; limit charter schools; allow illegal immigrants colonists the right to vote; scrapping tax breaks for developers and supports the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against Israel.
